New York Attorney General Letitia James has a message for the NY Knicks: you earned this championship — but no one can make you celebrate it at the White House.

Speaking to reporters at the Knicks' championship parade, James reminded players that attending any White House visit is entirely their personal choice.

“That is their personal prerogative, because, you know, in their contract, they have autonomy over their bodies,” she said, according to amNewYork. “And therefore, if they decide not to go, I would respect that.”

Her comments came one day after owner James Dolan publicly confirmed the team had accepted an invitation from President Donald Trump.

“We just did receive an invitation from the White House, which we accepted,” Dolan said during an appearance on WFAN. "He is a friend. I've known him for 30 years, and I'm very proud to bring the team to the White House."

The AG’s remarks fall in a league with a complicated history on this exact issue. Every NBA champion during Trump's first and second terms had declined White House invitations — dating back to the 2017 Golden State Warriors, when star Stephen Curry expressed reluctance, and Trump promptly rescinded the invite.

Last year's Oklahoma City Thunder also passed, citing scheduling conflicts. The Knicks, buoyed by Dolan's three-decade friendship with Trump, are breaking that streak.

The franchise recently clinched its first title in 53 years with a 94-90 Game 5 win over the San Antonio Spurs. Trump attended Game 3 at Madison Square Garden — the first sitting president ever to watch an NBA Finals game. He was met with loud boos from fans who had to clear TSA-style security to get inside; the Knicks also lost that night.

Which players will actually make the Washington trip remains unknown. James's public reminder ensures they know the decision is theirs alone.
